Catbird’s Monitoring, Analizying, and Reporting Functions are done Automatically
This non-invasive monitoring is achieved through the use of a swarm of remote automated agents located both strategically around the Internet and inside the customer’s own network. These agents continuously check and recheck the integrity of the customer’s websites and networks.
The benefit of geographically dispersed agents is brilliant and simple: Catbird can detect not only problems local to a customer site, but can also pinpoint trouble elsewhere in the worldwide internet that may directly impact the security or performance of the network. What is more, internal agents instantly spot abnormal activity that originated on the customer’s LAN itself.
Because the Catbird system is designed and administered by network security and performance experts, all of Catbird’s partners and their clients benefit from their unparalleled expertise. Catbird’s experts work to keep the system up to the minute regarding the latest known vulnerabilities, global security events, and regulatory requirements.
Moreover, because the suite is managed and operated by Catbird Networks as an independent third party, Catbird partners can assure their clients that they are getting the arm’s-length “check and balance” on the security, reliability and performance of the entire system required for regulatory compliance and auditability.
Reports, analysis and provisioning are managed through a easy-to-use web-based portal.
